Must-haves for flavour concentrates?

[vaporiser]

What are the must-have flavour concentrates? I've already built up a little collection of fruits, chocolates, cream and cake. I've started looking into more complex flavour combinations and I've created one that tastes identical to a coconut macaroon. I'm thinking of going down the path of custards and desserts.. I've heard these are some of the best for flavours. What are the best concentrates I need in my arsenal to create most of the main complex flavours?

Chris's Spiffing Cookies & Cream from Chefs is delightful.

I usually get 30ml concentrates for about £3.. is it worth paying the extra for?

I mixed up 150ml a couple of weeks ago. After a weeks steep I had a taste, it totally blew my mind at how good it was even after such a short time. Needless to say I've drained that bottle and currently have another 450ml steeping.
So, yes, it's worth paying the extra in my opinion.

Get as many milk/cream varieties as you can and mix them to make a cream base. Malted Milk, Condensed Milk, Butter, DDL and all the different creams.

For some reason this packs a bigger punch than any of them do individually.

I recently started to do the same with custards too, mixing 4 different brands together.

There's a lot of different creams out there.. can you recommend 3 or 4 of the cheapest but highest quality for the price?

Dark Star has TFA butter, malted milk, sweet cream, Bavarian cream and whipped cream at £3.50 for 30ml and 35% off with DS35TFA.

That would be a good place to start.

How long is that code valid for @Ment?
